T 0 aZZ whom itanay concern.

e it known that I, lVinLn-xn ,H. somacitizen of the 'United resident of Los Angeles. in the county of Los Angeles' and State of California, have invented newand useful Improvementsin Paint, of which the following is a specificatiou. I

main object the provision of a paint particularly adapted for the purpose of coating :1 surface of canvas or fabric, such as is used for awnings, curtains and the'like, whereby with a uniform and smooth coatingover the surface of the fabric, and will be prevented from saturating or working through to the other side of the fabric. p v

"It will be understood that it is frequently desirable to paint or color canvas such as is used in' ing or orna'menti-ng the fore it has been found. his to apply a uniform k, of paint on the canvas without discoloring the inner side-of the fabric, andv this discoloration makes the fabric'uusightly and is generally undesirable. v

It is a further object of my invention to provide in combination with an ordinary commercial oil paint,a mixture of wheat flour paste, which when thoroughly mixed same, and heretopractically mposs and smooth coatmg' with the paint will form a foundation on stices and prevent the absorption of the oils '1 from the paint by the 'abric, and thereby prevent the discoloration of the opposite 0 surface of the fabric. j I

Another object is to add to the mixture of paint-and flour paste,a suitable quantity of'drier, such as japan drier, so that the mixture will be quickly dried afteran application to the fabric. In the preparation of my paint I add a certaln amount of water 1n the preparation Other objects may appear as the description progresses.
